stacks-network/stacks-core 3.1.0.0.4

Release 3.1.0.0.4

on GitHub

This release contains several bugfixes and improvements in both the stacks-signer and the stacks-node binaries, ensuring more consistent block production.
This release is compatible with chainstate directories from 3.x.x.x.x.

This is a required upgrade for miners and signers

The version of stacks-signer compatible with this release is 3.1.0.0.4.0, available at: https://github.com/stacks-network/stacks-core/releases/tag/signer-3.1.0.0.4.0.

Added

• The stacks-node miner now performs accurate tenure-extensions in certain bitcoin block production
  cases: when a bitcoin block is produced before the previous bitcoin block's Stacks tenure started.
  Previously, the miner had difficulty restarting their missed tenure and extending into the new
  bitcoin block, leading to 1-2 bitcoin blocks of missed Stacks block production.
• The event dispatcher now includes consensus_hash in the /new_block and /new_burn_block payloads. (#5677)
• When a new block proposal is received while the signer is waiting for an existing proposal to be validated, the signer will wait until the existing block is done validating before submitting the new one for validating. (#5453)
• Introduced two new prometheus metrics:
• stacks_signer_block_validation_latencies_histogram: the validation_time_ms reported by the node when validating a block proposal
• stacks_signer_block_response_latencies_histogram: the "end-to-end" time it takes for the signer to issue a block response

Changed

• When a miner reorgs the previous tenure due to a poorly timed block, it can now continue to build blocks on this new chain tip (#5691)
